Waste and sewage management

For domestic rubbish/waste please see page 2

Sewage is managed by conservancy or septic tanks which require regular checking to avoid pollution.

A municipal tanker system is used to empty conservancy tanks. A tanker should be ordered before a tank is full. 24 hour notice and prepayment is required when ordering a tanker. See prepayment arrangements. Tel 086 124 8686 or 0445316757.

The waste transfer station, shown in the photograph, is near the lagoon end of Forest Drive.

It should be used only for household waste, including glass bottles.

No building rubble, garden refuse, organic waste or other ‘junk’ is accepted. Residents and visitors must arrange for such waste to be transported to the waste disposal site in Plettenberg Bay.

Garden refuse must not be dumped on sidewalks.

Household garbage should be placed on street verges only on Fridays, the day the municipality makes a collection except between14/12/2015 and 22/01/2016 when there will be an extra collection every Tuesday. Collection can be as early as 07H00.

Garbage bags should preferably be contained in a “wheely-bin” or other baboon-proof container.

Baboons are very active in Nature’s Valley. Crows can also be a problem. Poor waste management encourages their visits. Please assist by managing waste responsibly.
